The guests didn't leave until 12:40.
He Wenlin, He Qian, and their two younger brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"With business so good, Linlin, why are you still studying? You might as well not go back," said Uncle He Xing.
"The store just opened, and everyone's just curious. Who knows what will happen in the future? For us poor people, education is the only way out. I must go to university!" He Wenlin wasn't just talking; having lived two lives, she knew all too well the importance of education.
She was reborn in this life and has memories of her past life. Even without studying, she can still make money and live a good life. However, she regretted not going to university in her previous life, so she must go to university in this life no matter what!
"Don't just say nice things. You'll be taking the high school entrance exam next year. Get into high school first," said Mrs. He.
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it!" He Wenlin said confidently. "Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, could you please help me set up the tent?"
This morning, Lin Fei and the others tried to fix it, but couldn't. Being young and lacking the height and strength, they had to ask for help.
Without saying a word, Mr. and Mrs. He and Mr. and Mrs. He Xing immediately set to help.
"Linlin, there are 68 breakfast reservations in total: 30 servings of sticky rice and 18 servings of fried noodles," He Qian reported excitedly. "In addition, there are also 68 dinner reservations: 38 servings of fried noodles, 10 servings of egg fried rice, and 20 boxed lunches!"
After saying that, he handed his bag to He Wenlin.
The number of orders increased, but the average order value decreased. He Wenlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Lin Fei, you need to get up at 5:30 tomorrow," He Wenlin said.
"Okay, no problem."
“Linlin, quite a few customers have asked for fried noodles at lunchtime. I think we can bring more fried noodles out to sell in the afternoons and at lunchtimes,” He Shan suggested.
"Stir-fried noodles get cold easily, and they don't taste good when they're cold. You can tell them to come to the restaurant to eat stir-fried noodles."
People eat fried noodles for their affordability, and of course, the taste is also quite good. If Lin Fei can master the recipe and make a batch in minutes, he can still make money.
"You've worked hard. Everyone, hurry up and eat first. After you finish eating, you can all take a nap. We'll start working again at two o'clock."
After dinner, it was time for the exciting moment of counting money.
Lin Fei and He Shan's accounts were three cents off, so their income was 205.7 yuan.
I just received orders for breakfast and dinner, totaling 230 yuan.
Including the individual customer orders received today and the reservations made this morning, the total revenue for today is 435.7 yuan.
Looks like we might break 1000 today!
"You guys take a break first. We'll start work at 2 PM. I'm going out for a bit."
He Wenlin wiped away her tears, tidied herself up a bit, and then went to the farmers' market to meet up with Boss Guo.
"Mr. Guo, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Shall we go there now?"
"Thank you for your trouble."
He Wenlin rode on Boss Guo's motorcycle to Xitou New Village, which was three kilometers away.
I met the seller here.
"Old Guo, you're not kidding me, are you? A kid buying a freezer?" When the seller saw that the buyer was He Wenlin, a young girl with blond hair, he immediately thought that Old Guo was playing a trick on him.
“Boss, don’t let my young age fool you, I can make the decision if the items are suitable,” He Wenlin said. “May I inspect the goods?”
The seller was stunned. Such a valuable item, decided by a child???
Old Guo said, "Don't underestimate this young girl just because she's young. Her fast food business is booming. Can you imagine? She's so young, yet she's already running her own fast food business."
Old Guo has been selling frozen goods at the market for so long, and He Wenlin, a young girl, has been going in and out every day buying and selling goods, so he has long observed her.
He Wenlin said the refrigerator was broken, but he knew in his heart that it was just an excuse.
The truth is, He Wenlin doesn't have a refrigerator!
After Lao Guo said that, the seller also became serious. He looked at He Wenlin with surprise and admiration, and praised her, "You really can't judge a book by its cover, young lady. Come with me."
He Wenlin followed them to the garage on the first floor, where she saw the freezer and the food truck.
"The insulated food cart has been used for more than half a year since we bought it. Look, it's as good as new. And the freezers are also in top condition."
He Wenlin carefully inspected the items. The seller had plugged in the insulated cart and refrigerator beforehand, so it was easy to tell whether they were usable at a glance.
But when doing business, you always have to find fault with things, otherwise how can you negotiate a price?
“Boss, this freezer doesn’t look like it’s only been used for six months,” He Wenlin said. “Don’t think I’m too young to know anything about freezers.”
Seeing He Wenlin's mature demeanor, the seller knew she wasn't easily fooled and chuckled, "Young lady, you have a good eye. The freezer is less than two years old, so the quality is fine, as you can tell. A new one would cost 1,600 yuan, and some insulated carts cost me 580 yuan a new one. I'll only charge you 1,500 yuan for both of these items. Is that reasonable?"
"You've used all these things, and you dare to ask for such a high price for old stuff. It seems you're not really interested in selling them, boss. Since you're not really interested in selling them, I'll be leaving now. Thank you for today, Mr. Guo."
"No, wait," the seller stopped He Wenlin. "Why don't you name a price?"
"The insulated truck is 300, the refrigerator is 600, and the total is 900."
Upon hearing this number, the seller jumped up in frustration: "No, no, you've cut the price way too much! The lowest price is 1400!"
"It's so expensive, I might as well just buy a new one."
“Then add a little more. 900 yuan is definitely not enough. Here’s the deal: 380 for the insulated cart and 980 for the refrigerator, 1360 yuan in total.”
"Too expensive. The insulated food cart is 320, and the refrigerator is at most 660. 980 is my bottom line. If it's okay, great. If not, just buy a new one. Don't delay your search for another supplier."
Twenty years from now, old refrigerators won't be worth much, but now appliance prices are high, even secondhand ones aren't cheap.
"Too low."
"Then I'll take my leave." He Wenlin turned to leave.
"Young lady, what's the rush? Just a little more, just a little bit, 1300, 1300 and we'll make a deal."
"1020, please deliver my things to my home."
"That won't do, I have to deliver it myself. 1020 won't do." The seller shook his head like a rattle-drum.
Mr. Guo, who hadn't spoken until now, said, "I think you should each compromise. The new freezer costs 1500, and even the old one costs 800 or 900. You definitely can't get it for 600. Let's each compromise: the refrigerated cart is 350, and the freezer is 750. That's 1100 in total. You can deliver it to the young lady's door. Young lady, if you need meat or anything else in the future, just ask me. Let's not waste our breath over a hundred or so yuan."
1100 was actually He Wenlin's bottom line, but she didn't agree immediately. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Okay."
“Since my cousin said so, then it’s settled. Young lady, from now on, just come to me, Lao Liu, when you buy meat. Whatever price others give you, I’ll give you the same.”
"Can."
